Technical SEO Checklist for Small Websites
You do not need a huge technical stack to keep a small website search-friendly.
Crawlability
Make sure important pages can be discovered through internal links and are not accidentally blocked by robots.txt.
Indexing
Use useful, indexable pages with unique titles and descriptions. Remove accidental noindex directives from pages you want to rank.
Canonical URLs
Keep one preferred URL for each page and use canonical tags when duplicate URL versions exist.
Performance
Compress images, avoid unnecessary scripts and keep the HTML/CSS lightweight. Static sites are a strong starting point.
Structured data
Where appropriate, add valid schema markup that accurately describes the page. Never add misleading structured data.
Priority order: crawlability → indexing → useful content → internal links → performance → enhancements.
